The month of June followed in the footsteps of the earlier months of this year in terms of trailer music productivity. With 58 new albums, this post will keep you and your ears occupied for a while, I hope! Curiously, there were a surprising number of horror- and dark fantasy-themed albums released in June... is Halloween happening early this year? Oh, and that's not the only peculiarity in this post. Amadea Music Productions had, for a very long time, been the undisputed leader (at least among the trailer music companies that I cover here at Trailer Music Hub) in the number of new non-sound-design trailer music releases month after month. Not in June though! Audiomachine took the crown with 7 new albums! Mainly thanks to a bunch of new releases in their Studio Series, but still... Finally, a quick shout-out to Inon Zur and Jon Adamich, both of whom released their first solo trailer music album in 3 years. Good to see you back!

It was only back in March that I wrote, for the first time, about more than 60 new trailer music releases in a single post, but guess what, the May post already beats that with 66! Alright, I know you're not here to read about breaking records every other month though, so let's talk trailer music! In this post, you won't find any introductions of new trailer music companies or composers, just a whole lot of new music from the usual suspects. I'll kick it off with two quick highlights though. First, Amplitude released a new album, "Epic Showdown", after one and a half years of silence. Although only available to the industry, just like the rest of their catalog, hopefully this marks the return of Amplitude to releasing new albums regularly and, eventually, perhaps a public release too. Hi-Finesse, on the other hand, released one of their recent industry albums to the public. This is a very rare occasion, considering Hi-Finesse albums can't be listened to anywhere unless you're a client, and their only other albums available for streaming are two greatest hits compilations from 2016 and 2021. Alas, let's be grateful for this unexpected public release and hope for "Hits, Vol. 3" in 2026!
With 62 new trailer music releases, this post breaks the previous record of 60 from February 2024! That amounts to dozens of hours of new music for you to check out, but let me give you a few highlights before you dive in. Audiomachine's Studio Series catalog can no longer be found on the Audiomachine website after entering into a partnership with Audio Network to represent this catalog instead, as of last October. This post features some of the first Studio Series albums from after the transition. Next, Akela Sun has released the first album with new music since 2021. Although it's really just a 6-track EP, it's good to see that this trailer music project of the German-Australian composer Guido Negraszus is still alive!
Alright, here comes the October deluge of trailer music – 59 new releases in total! Get ready for countless hours of epic, thrilling and inspiring music, as well as the occasional epic pop or cinematic americana album. Oh, and as you could expect in the month of Halloween, there is in increased proportion of mystery and horror releases! But most importantly, let me introduce a couple of newcomers to the blog.
A great variety of genres awaits you among the 48 April releases introduced in this post. Besides the usual menu of epic, suspenseful and reflective trailer music, you'll find here albums incorporating synthwave, neofolk and world music in a cinematic fashion, as well as the first Christmas trailer music album of this year! But before I let you explore, let me make a few introductions to the blog. Two composers, who should need no introduction among trailer music fans, release their debut solo trailer music albums: Nick Phoenix, one of the two founders of the legendary Two Steps From Hell, the era of which is now, sadly, officially over, and Paul Dinletir, the co-founder of Audiomachine, another legendary trailer music company. Another newcomer to Trailer Music Hub is the Swedish composer Ron Morina, who releases his second solo album, 9 years after his debut "Days of Tomorrow".
Are you ready for a trailer music galore? February brought us an exceptional bounty of 60 new releases, especially considering it's the shortest month of the year (although, admittedly, it was one day longer than usual this year). The vast majority of these new albums is available on streaming platforms, and I expect at least a few of the remaining ones to become publicly available too in the near future. It's a lot of music to explore, so I'll keep the intro short. Let me just quickly introduce 3 new names to Trailer Music Hub, and you can then dive into the sea of trailer music below.
Here is the final batch of 2023 trailer music releases! December being a major holiday month, trailer music production slowed down substantially, but you'll still find 36 brand new albums in this post. And 3 of them are by trailer music companies I never mentioned on Trailer Music Hub before! The first among them is Epic Soul Factory, launched by Cesc Vilà and Fran Soto all the way back in 2011. December saw the release of Alpha, Epic Soul Factory's first album since Sigma, their successful 2015 release. Next introduction goes to Synapse Trailer Music, which has been around only since 2018, but already boasts a catalog of over 100 albums. The Blue Devil, along with the sound design release Dr. Tick Toxic 2, were Synapse Trailer Music's last releases of 2023. And finally, let me introduce Omniscore, an exciting new collaborative project of Antti Martikainen, with the first release from December – Crimson Saga – being a stellar collaboration with Ian Fontova. Hope you enjoy the new music as much as I did!
There are 44 new trailer music albums, released in October, waiting for you below to be explored! They come in all flavors, ranging from action to fantasy, and with October being the Halloween month, there is a noticeable increase in horror music releases. But worry not, you'll also find cheerful Celtic and winter holiday-themed ones in the mix! Looking at the post cover, it actually represents the variety of genres remarkably well! As for new introductions, I have two this month. More than 5 years after his last release, the Portuguese composer BrunuhVille released Atlas, his 11th album (not counting compilation albums and EPs), featuring the amazing Julie Elven on vocals on one of the tracks. The album is a compilation of various singles BrunuhVille had released since 2018. Next, the UK-based Hungarian composer Thomas-Adam Habuda put out an album of both new and old, unreleased and experimental compositions. Featuring 27 tracks, Space Works will entertain you for a good hour and a half! Tom has composed music for Audiomachine in the past, among other trailer music companies, and Space Works is his 3rd solo album, with the first two released all the way back in 2011 and 2014. Now, I will finally let you go and explore the music. Enjoy!
Entering the vacation season hasn't changed anything about the rate of trailer music coming out this month, so there are 48 albums waiting for you to be explored below! After last month's four introductions of newcomers to my blog, I only have one for the month of July, despite the number of new releases in this post. The Spanish composer José Manuel González Núñez has been composing cinematic music under the name "Sounds of Neptune" for almost a decade now. After two solo piano albums earlier this year, he now releases a 3-track EP of reflective cinematic music that I encourage you to check out. And actually, there is a second introduction I should make too: The Lorne Balfe Collection, a brand new Audio Network trailer music library (or "collection", as Audio Network calls it). However, since this library didn't just release one debut album, but six of them, I thought I should write a separate short post on it. So stay tuned!
Welcome to the 30th monthly post on my trailer music blog! You'll find in it a list of 44 new releases, but first I have four introductions of newcomers to the blog to make. Andreas Kübler is a German composer, probably best known as the former creative director and lead composer at IMAscore, but making music for other trailer music companies too, including Colossal Trailer Music and Glory Oath + Blood. In June he released his second solo EP, after a debut EP in 2020 that had come out just shortly before I started this blog. Next, Instrumental Core (the alias of Piotr Adamski) adds the sixth album to his collection, the last one before that also having been released just a month before the inception of my blog. Instrumental Core, however, entered the trailer music scene with his debut "dubchestral" release already back in 2012, after which he started closely collaborating with Really Slow Motion on his subsequent albums. The viking composers of Epic North – a Finnish trailer music company that also collaborated with Really Slow Motion in the past – are back from their Fimbulvinter slumber that lasted not the proverbial three, but five, consecutive winters. Just in time to celebrate the company's 10th anniversary with a new epic album! And finally, Immediate Music has released their first public album since 2020. Founded all the way back in 1993 by Jeffrey Fayman and Yoav Goren, Immediate Music is a veteran in trailer music, however, until recently, there seemed to be no new music produced by the company after 2020. That seems to be changing now though, as I've noticed albums from the past three years being retroactively added on the BMG Production Music website linked above. So, there might be more "new" Immediate Music music (uh, that sounds awkward) to look forward to in the near future! Phew, this was probably the longest intro paragraph I've written in a post... but don't get used to it! Go ahead and enjoy the new music now!
Exciting news: there are exactly 50 new trailer music releases waiting for you in this post! That makes May the second most fruitful month of this year so far. But, before you start scrolling down and listening to this bounty of new music, let me briefly introduce Maximum Impact, one of Audio Network's libraries, created in 2017. The library boasts 13 albums composed by the likes of Mark Petrie, Erick DeVore and Harry Lightfoot, with the most recent one released just this May. Most of their albums are available on streaming platforms, so check them out if you have any spare time remaining after listening to the 50 albums below. Enjoy!
January had set the bar high in terms of the amount of new music, and February certainly didn't disappoint, allowing me to present a selection of 46 new trailer music albums for you in this post. You'll again find a few newcomers to my trailer music blog. Introducing Artem Yegorov, yet another Ukrainian composer, who released his 5th cinematic music album after more than 4 years. Next, End of Silence, a label originally published by Really Slow Motion, then acquired by Dos Brains a couple of years ago and added to their catalog of several labels (alongside Silver Screen, Rogue Souls, Third Rail, and others). Unfortunately for us fans, most releases from the Dos Brains labels are industry-only and not even available for preview unless you're a client, and only tend to become available to the public about 3 years after their release. The most recent End of Silence album is, however, a collaboration with IMAscore and the album was released straight to the public, yay! And finally, I introduce a new album by Endgame, an APM Music library aimed at the video game industry. Enjoy all the new music!
Welcome to the first post of 2023! It sure looks like trailer music companies had delayed much of their music publication in December until after New Year, as I found 51 new trailer music releases this January! This is by far the most I have ever reported in a single post, and it took me quite a bit of time to go through all of them (and many other not-quite-trailer-music albums that didn't make it into this post) and to write up this post. Despite the greater-than-ever number of releases, I only have one new introduction to my blog this time. Olexandr Ignatov, a Ukrainian pianist and composer, released Motherland, an album dedicated to his home country in the light of the events of the past 12 months, and the first album with epic music since his two 2018 releases, Piano Scenes and Forgotten Reality. And, although not entirely new to my blog, let me also highlight Q-Factory, Soundcritters, and Tybercore this month, all of whom had not released any new music since early 2021, when I was just starting to write this trailer music news blog. Okay, I won't take any more of your time, as you have more than 50 albums to explore! Have fun!
Ready for a fresh batch of trailer music? Although we are slowly approaching the end of the year, with 42 new releases, November shows no sign of music production slowing down. In fact, this month you will even see 4 first mentions on my blog! First off, one of the very first trailer music companies I ever listened to, Future World Music (founded by Armen Hambar back in 2004), finally released a new album after two years. A much younger trailer music company that I only recently discovered is Jolt Trailer Music, started in 2018 and distributed by BMG Production Music. The next introduction is Gabriel Brosteanu, who just had a sequel to his 2019 album Supernova released by Position Music. And finally, I came across a new release by PP Music, a once very productive trailer music company with only a handful of albums from the last decade though, and this latest one came after a three-year break. I wish you a wonderful voyage through the sea of epic music that lies ahead!
October was another generous month, so here is yet another post introducing 43 new trailer music releases! I present, for the first time, music by Empire of Excellence, a young BMG Production Music label created in 2021. Having grown its catalog to 17 albums since its recent inception, it is a very productive label, and here you'll find the two most recent releases. On the other hand, the epic rock band Globus was founded back in 2006 by Yoav Goren (best known as the co-founder of Immediate Music, one of the earliest trailer music companies), yet they just released their third studio album, Cinematica, no less than 11 years after their previous release. Finally, October also brought us a new release, after a two-year break, from Boost Music's label Playground Hollywood, founded by Starr Parodi and Jeff Eden Fair a decade and a half ago. Go on and check out these newcomers to my trailer music blog (though not necessarily newcomers to the cinematic music scene), as well as fresh music from the regulars!
